Director Tag Linked w/ Artist Tag [#21566]

[tmf]

Have you considered using one of the 10 available 'Custom Tags'? I would consider one of the Custom fields first, before using the Conductor field for other than it's intended purpose.

After that, I've used (or mis-used) the Conductor field for 'Series/Box Sets' and it's sort of working for this purpose. At the time I started doing this there were only 5 Custom fields which were already in use, as was the Grouping field. With a LOT of music files collected over many years I had never used Conductor and thought it was worth a try. It's also on the main Edit screen along with the Album Titles which was a big plus. It's not ideal, but is (sort of) serving it's intended purpose, but there are some quirks. I still think a dedicated field would probably be much better? But, that could also have some quirks as audio doesn't seem to me to be as well defined as video Series or Box Sets (I don't collect video and could very well be wrong on that part)?

So, I wouldn't really recommend mis-using any of the pre-defined fields, but in your case it just might work and could be a possible alternative in the event Director and Artist are not split up into separate fields. Just give it some careful thought before using.
